2006:15e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2005
The safety philosophy upon which the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) supervisory and regulatory activities are based assume that multiple physical barriers will exist and that a plant-specific defence-in-depth system will be implemented at each plant and that the licensee bears the undivided responsibility for safety. The physical barriers are situated between the radioactive...

2008:38 Methodology for description and evaluation of cost profiles and cost structure during transitions period
A demanding task for our generation is to assure the appropriate financial resources are invested in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. This will enable future generations to execute the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear power reactors and other nuclear facilities in a prudent manner. The main aim is to fulfil the demands of environmental and health codes in a pan-European context...

2007:31e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2006
Safety related problems in the electric systems of the Forsmark 1 reactor were the dominant event in Swedish nuclear power plants in 2006. The incident has had a significant impact on our attitude towards the reliability of how safety systems function both in Sweden and abroad. In connection with SKI’s review of the incident it was found that the company’s management system was not...
